So great to talk to you @catherinecrock and to imagine what a Gathering of Kindness @GoKindness_ in Scotland would look like in 2020 @DrCicely

What does kindness mean to you?
How do you show kindness?
How will you be kind to yourself today?
How will you be kind to others today?

(Thanks @Kind_Scotland 🙏🏽)

“It’s unbeatable, quiet, and makes the giver beautiful”

We asked the amazing @charliemackesy about what kindness means to him for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, and he created this beautiful response #KindnessMatters 💚

The @PICU_BCH 9:09 club meeting has been an important part of my #COVID19 #pedsicu journey. In the chaotic world with pressure from everywhere, this has kept me grounded.

I'm pleased to be able to share #myfirstblog

Left by a neighbour 😍 on my doorstep. Perfect for that tricky midnight hour after fasting when I’m desperate for tea & sleep (at the same time!) but know I need to get back up again at 3am & do it all over again. Thank you Kari! #actsofkindness #lockdownRamadan #halfwaythere

[Mark Hazelwood (mostly on Bluesky) @Palliative_Scot]

".....there is no end to the compasion we can offer." @jasonleitch talks about palliative care as a vital component of Scotland's response to COVID-19. #pallicovid

[Gathering of Kindness Scotland @Kind_Scotland]

Yes! @DrQuinnCapers4

[Quinn Capers, IV @DrQuinnCapers4]

Sometimes the only intervention I can offer my patient is ...

a kind interaction.

When no meds will work-
When no stents can fix the problem-
When no surgery can help ...

That’s all I have

Rx: Apply liberally

This sheep escaped a farm and spent 6 years in the mountains, during which time he grew 60 pounds of wool. Wolves tried to eat him, but their teeth could not penetrate the floof. You don't have to turn hard to survive the wolves, just be really, really soft and fluffy.

Doing nothing.

“Do it intensely and do it kindly” says @Trisha_the_doc

[Trisha Elliott @Trisha_the_doc]

But often doing NOTHING is the best medicine!! But do it intensely, and kindly....

[Gathering of Kindness Scotland @Kind_Scotland]

Thanks @scotbelg for pointing us this way

Life has changed over the last few weeks. The world that was ‘working’, is no longer working.

@elly_chapple sees this as a positive, as a way to level the playing field and get back to what matters; #relationships, #kindness and #love.

Acts of kindness online have powerful protective physiological effects for the giver, especially important too for those who are lonely - and inspiring! https://t.co/LnaaPN07P8
